Paris

With fabulous hotels, stunning scenery and some of the finest parkland and target courses to be found anywhere, Paris is a hot favourite.

Chantilly is two hours south of Calais going towards Paris. It features chateaux, glorious forests, an elegant main town surrounded by charming villages and more than its fair share of top-notch courses. In fact, we think Chantilly is one of the best regions for golf in Europe: A fine round of golf is followed by a little exploring and a lovely meal in a country inn. Nothing better!

Chantilly is known throughout France for its chateaux, chic way of life and being the home of French horse-racing. With over 3,000 horses stabled, you’ll often see them on training gallops through the 16,000-acre forest or around the tracks. The Living Horse Museum is also worth a visit.

As well as easy access by motorway, Chantilly is well-served by Paris and Beauvais airports and also Le Havre port. You can also take the foot-passenger Eurostar train from London or Ebbsfleet to Paris, where a hire car or transfer will be waiting for you.

Further south and just three hours from Calais you’ll find Fontainebleau: Chic, historic and surrounded by picturesque villages and towns. The region, amid France’s largest forest, is also idyllic for golf and there are some stunners to play!

Golf doesn’t come much better with five tremendous courses to choose from, including the amazing Fontainebleau. As well as great designs, the condition is good all year-round due to the gentle climate and sandy subsoil.

To complement the golf, we’ve chosen hotels that satisfy all tastes and budgets – from town centre three-stars to a luxury villa.

Versailles – Home to the grandest chateau in the world and an easy drive from the centre of Paris, Versailles provides smart living with beautiful countryside (and courses) nearby.

Average annual temperatures are: from December – March: 5°C – 12°C, from April – June: 11°C – 23°C; from July – September: 13°C – 25°C and from October – November: 6°C – 16°C.

Northern France

Northern France is a short drive from Calais. This region is the most popular golf holiday destination in France, with an abundance of outstanding links and parkland courses. There is a wide variety of accommodation, a great choice of eateries, interesting tourist attractions and 75 miles of fine sandy beaches.

Le Touquet (Paris by the sea) – A beautiful 1920’s style holiday resort lying to the west which has always been a favourite holiday destination for golfers and sports enthusiasts. There are many bars, restaurants, casinos, shops and a cinema – you will not be disappointed. If all that’s too much for you, why not find yourself a delightful quiet spot somewhere on the 6 miles of glorious sandy beach. Hardelot – A premier golfing destination with 2 fantastic championship golf courses. Wimereux – A dynamic little town is the nearest to Calais and offers a host of activities, entertainment, restaurants, shopping and the fantastic links golf course of Wimereux itself. Montreuil-sur-Mer – A medieval town with cobbled streets lined with beautiful picturesque old houses, churches and some fine eating places. Fort Mahon – Home to the superb Belle Dune golf course and the Marquenterre nature reserve which is a very popular area. Arras and the Artois region – Both the town of Arras and the surrounding countryside of this beautiful region, offer visitors the opportunity to view Gallo-Roman archaeology, treasures of medieval art, religious paintings, 18th-century castles and much more. The huge cobbled square of Arras hosts lively markets every week and there are some wonderful eateries where you can eat ‘al fresco’ as you watch the world go by.

Gastronomy

Nord-Pas-de-Calais has always made good use of seafood. Typical dishes include: waterzoï de poissons (fish stew), joues et langues de morues dunkerquoises (cod cheeks and tongues), mussel soup and crab pastries.

Further inland, the Belgian influence can be seen in traditional dishes such as: rabbit with prunes, langue de boeuf Lucullus de Valenciennes (slices of smoked ox tongue lightly spread with a mixture of butter and foie gras), smoked garlic soup and pot-au-feu or stew, known as hochepot.

Nord-Pas de Calais is one of the most important cheese producing regions of France. The abundance of grass in the Avesnois and Monts des Flandres are ideal for grazing cows. Try the famous Maroilles variety, the Dauphin, Boulette d’Avesnes, Coeur d’Arras or Bergues cheese, not forgetting the Vieux-Lille, also known as the puant (or ‘stinker’).

Nord-Pas-de-Calais is one of the two great brewing regions of France. The character of its beers is influenced by both Belgium and England. Typical examples are produced by top fermentation, which gives a fruity flavour.

Despite the disappearance of most of the large breweries, numerous small enterprises strive to safeguard the range of special beers, including: Angélus, Cuvée des Jonquilles, Triboulette, Choulette and Ch’ti.

Climate

Average annual temperatures are: from December – March: 2°C – 10°C, from April – June: 5°C – 12°C, July-August: 12°C-21°C, from September – November: 4°C – 18°C.

Normandy

From the bustling resorts of the coast to the hidden gems around Rouen and Evreux, Normandy has something for everyone.

Normandy stretches from the southern edge of Pas-de-Calais across to Mont Saint-Michel and down to the Loire and east towards Paris. This beautiful part of France has a myriad of landscapes and is also rich in history, charm and great golf courses.

The Duke of Normandy led the Norman invasion and became William the Conqueror, King of England in 1066. Since then, Normandy has become famous for impressionist painters, Calvados, 365 cheeses and time-honoured cuisine. As well as these finer things in life, the Normandy Landings are remembered with inspirational monuments and museums.

Normandy has a great variety of golf designs and the clubhouses and greenkeeping make it a top-rate golfing destination with the courses offering our clients Champagne golf at cider prices.

For apres-golf, you have the choice of historic cities, museums, monuments, and lively and smart resorts laden with brasseries and bars.

Thanks to the fantastic choice of cross-Channel crossings and wonderful motorways, you can escape to Normandy even for just a short break. It’s just two hours from Calais, or you can travel overnight and arrive fresh for golf early the next day.

Inland Normandy

With six outstanding courses and apres golf of various styles, this is La Belle Vie for serious golfers looking to experience the real France.

Coastal Normandy

From the “Alabaster Coast” starting at Dieppe to the “coast of Flowers” beyond Caen, Coastal Normandy features towering limestone cliffs, soft sandy beaches and a healthy amount of sunshine. It’s ideal for those who love their golf, like to eat well and take time to admire the surroundings.

Gastronomy

Normandy offers an exciting and high-quality gastronomical variety. First comes its luxurious seafood: oysters from the open sea, scallops, lobsters. And for each major town there is most likely a speciality: Dieppe sole, tripe à la mode from Caen, boudin noir from Mortagne. Next, let us not forget those great Normandy cows, who give milk in abundance. The famous cheeses of the region—camembert (well made), Pont l’Evêque, or livarot—are thanks to them. And finally, as for fruits, Normandy holds the ace: green, sweet, crunchy, sour, ripe apples. They are used in making cider and the reputed calvados.

Climate

Average temperatures during the year are: from December – April: 5°C – 12°C, May – June: 10 -18°C, July – September: 14°C – 21°C, October – November: 7°C – 15°C.

Brittany

This magical region offers so much for golfers and non-golfers alike.

Boasting the longest coastline in Europe, Brittany also lays claim to a huge variety of marvellous golf courses. The climate is mild and the food – with so much sea and land – is delicious.

We feature many lovely courses and the fairways are rarely busy. Access is surprisingly easy with state-of-the-art ferries. Plus, there are daily flights from several UK airports and a motorway all the way from Calais.

It’s no wonder that once bitten by the Brittany bug, golfers go back time after time.

North Brittany

Six good courses of diverse design, numerous tourist attractions, some of the best seafood in France and the full range of accommodation options…This is a one-stop-shop for all that’s good in a golf holiday.

South Brittany

Picturesque ports, sandy coves and with a warm, dry climate, this is a glorious golfing destination with a livelier side featuring bars and restaurants, casinos and resorts.

Gastronomy

Crêpes (sweet) and galettes (savory) are traditional Breton foods, served in many restaurants and occasionally sold as snacks on the street. They can provide a delicious and relatively inexpensive meal and are found throughout Brittany and Normandy, as well as in Paris and other parts of France. More…

With its long coastline, Brittany is also a center for great seafood. Enjoy a lunch or dinner of moules frites (mussels served with French fries/chips) or indulge in delicious fresh oysters.

If you’re feeling adventuresome, try bigorneaux (periwinkles). Breton seafood is well known, for good reason. Muscadet wine, from the Nantes area, is often served with seafood. More…

Brittany also has its traditional drinks, from slightly fizzy cider to strong Calvados apple brandy. A variety of apéritifs, many cider-based, are also available. More…

And of course there are the desserts/sweets. The traditional kouign amann is a delicious pastry of butter, flour, and sugar. The butter and sugar are folded into the pastry, creating layers of dough, and the baking caramelizes the sugar.

Patisseries sell large ones for the family, and individual small ones for snacks. How could you resist? After passing lots of shops in St-Malo, we couldn’t:

Yum! Another local dessert specialty is a Far Breton, a dense custard similar to a clafouti, usually containing prunes. Not overly sweet and fairly simple to make, the Far is a popular dish in Brittany.

Climate

The average temperature during the year are: from December until March: 5°C – 12°C, from April – May: 7°C-14°C; from June – September: 12°C -22°C, from October-November: 7°C-16°C.

Champagne & Alsace

Champagne-Ardenne

Stylish hotels, golf and the famous sparkling wines… All less than three hours from Calais and an hour from Paris CDG airport. The capital of Champagne is Reims – a past capital of France brimming with history, elegant avenues, magnificent buildings and manicured public gardens. And thanks to the enormous vineyards and unspoilt villages, there is space everywhere you go. As well as the culture there is, of course, the Champagne!… Dozens of Champagne houses – from family-run producers to the likes of Moet, Tattinger, Ruinart and Mumm – open their doors to the public and offer excellent tours and “on the door” prices. Champagne golf will put a sparkle in your game, too. Quiet, conditioned fairways with a very warm welcome and classic designs…It’s the essence of what holiday golf is meant to be.

Gastronomy

Specialities such as andouillets de Troyes (chitterling sausages), boudin blanc de Rethal (white sausage) and pieds de porc a la Sainte-Menehould (pig’s trotters) reflect their places of origin. Haute Marne is known for its truffles, Marne for brie cheese and the Ardennes for its ham. Terrines and foie gras appear throughout the region and not only vegetarians will enjoy La Joute – a regional vegetable stew. Countryside and forests, including the old royal hunting grounds of Montagne de Reims, produce autumn mushrooms and game for rich winter fare, like wild boar stew (civet de sanglier) and hare (lievre) in cream sauce.

Those who love fine food to accompany their wines should make for Reims which has its own special dishes – many using champagne. Try sandre river fish or salmon, in a cream and champagne sauce. Vinaigre de Reims for salads includes the famous ‘bubbly’ and you can even buy champagne-flavoured mustard. Meat, including tender veal and poultry dishes, are excellent as is aromatic Reims ham. Find local cow’s milk cheeses like cendre de Champagne, Langres, and creamy chaource smelling of mushrooms in the city’s La Cave aux Fromages. Look for delicious chocolate truffles and all manner of biscuits in local patisseries. Reims’s famous biscuits rose, created in the seventeenth century, are often served at champagne tastings.

Alsace-Lorraine

Leading off the River Rhine and extending along the foot of the Vosges mountains, you’ll find massive pine forests and rolling hills. There are also vineyards that produce light, fruity wines and dotted here and there are exquisite “step-back-in-time” towns – perfect for afternoon tea or shopping. Alsace has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other region in France so eating well is never a problem. For party-goers, there are plenty of bars and clubs in the beautiful old town of Strasbourg. As for the golf, you’ll be amazed at the quality and will keep coming back for more. In fact, Kempferhof is the highest rated ‘open’ French course in Europe. For hotels, we’ve got a solution for every taste and wallet. Alsace is easy to get to via Calais and there are numerous flights from the UK to Strasbourg and Baden Baden. Driving is easy and fairly local once you get there. The climate is dry year-round. An unknown treasure!

Gastronomy

The area of Alsace Lorraine has flip-flopped back and forth between Germany and France, each one ruling then the other for several centuries. Over time, Germany’s influence on traditional French dishes became apparent but it is the fusion of the two cuisines which are so culturally different which has resulted in the outstanding cuisine to be found there today.

Alsatians and Lorrainers have become masters of pickling, smoking meats, and packing sausages. They place high importance on the impeccable quality of their rustic food products.

The traditional German ingredients of marinated meat and vegetables are stewed to make the delicious and flavorful Baeckeoffe. Robust sausage and pickled cabbage (sauerkraut or choucroute) pair up to make Choucroute Alsacienne. The German influence is even apparent in the flavor of the local wine, the intricacies of which can be closely compared to classic Rhines. Another favorite and one now found all over France is the Flamme Kuchen or Tarte Flamme as it is also known.

The Alsatian culinary claim to fame is foie gras, a light, flavorful pâté of duck or goose liver. In Alsace Lorraine, many farms still produce the liver dish using their own homegrown geese and ducks, and their methods of feeding are more gentle and humane than the commercial.

Climate

For both the annual average temperatures are: from December-February: 3°C-8°C, from March-April: 1°C-16°C, from May-September: 8°C-25°C, from October-November: 5°C-18°C.

The Loire Valley

Not just chateaux and fine wines, the Loire is full of treasures.

The Loire Valley combines fantastic scenery with historic chateaux. Situated in the very heart of France, there’s rarely a crowd – on the roads or on the fairways!

With one every five miles, there is no better place for chateaux and the wine is world-class too. As expected, delicious food is a way of life but what’s news to most golfers is the quality of golf.

Of the courses we offer, two have hosted PGA tournaments and another is home to France’s best Amateur team. The remaining courses satisfy even the most travelled golfer. Our green-fees are exceptional – it’s chateaux golf a B&B prices! The weather is another serious attraction as is the well-drained soil – golf is playable year round and the condition of the courses is to be envied.

Gastronomy & wines

At the center of local gastronomy, goat cheese comes in five different AOC variations: crottin de Chavignol (a small, round, slightly bulging delight), Sainte-Maure de Touraine (a bûche famously tied up with a strand of hay), Selles-sur-Cher (rounds with a fine blue crust), and for the finish, two pyramids: Valençay, the top of which will have been sliced off by Talleyrand, and Pouligny-Saint-Pierre, which managed to keep its head. To this mix add Trèfle, a newcomer among chèvres, and cow’s milk cheeses such as cendré d’Olivet and Feuille de Dreux.

From Touraine to Sancerre, from Coteaux du Vendômois to Châteaumeillant, the winemakers of the Loire Valley are not short on exceptional wines whose diversity and authenticity really shine. Wine is one facet of the art of living here in Centre to discover several different ways. Bourgueil, Chinon, Vouvray, Valençay, Reuilly, Menetou-Salon, Sancerre: do these names resonate with you? These are just a few of the wines of the Loire Valley; the region keeps plenty of other tucked away. Twenty-four AOC-licensed vintners can be found here. All are quality wines, born of know-how and a long viticultural tradition that lends them their renown. Closely tied to the history of France, viticulture in the Loire Valley began in the 5th century. It has since not ceased to develop, thanks to the knowledge of winemakers handed down from generation to generation.

The best-known specialties here are rillettes de Tours, poached eggs au Chinon, saupiquet nivernais, pâté berrichon with eggs, chicken en barbouille, nougats de Tours, Chinon peaches, sabayon de golden, prune candies, and dried pears.

Climate

The average annual temperature are: from December-March: 0°C-10°C, from April-May: 5°C-19°C, from June-September: 11°C-23°C, from October-November: 4°C-16°C.

South-West France

The splendour of Bordeaux to the glitz of Biarritz. And with five courses in Europe’s Top 100, you’re spoilt!

France has everything one could wish for and Bordeaux is the case in point.

Established by the Romans who found the natural river ports, wine and the perfect agricultural conditions to their liking, the area has prospered for over 2000 years. It retains all of its pomp and seamlessly shows off its renowned vineyards and countless chateaux. More recent additions include several good courses. It is now a serious golf destination.

Biarritz

Biarritz is a true golfing paradise. Add fine weather, great food and extensive nightlife to the equation and the result is a fantastic golf holiday.

Access is quick with plenty of flights in and around the resorts. Some clients drive down from the Channel ports and take an overnight stop to break the nine-hour drive with others preferring the overnight ferries to Bilbao or Santander. Once there, the resorts, courses and restaurants are all local so you’ll be doing more driving on the course than on the roads.

The scenery is impressive with massive beaches, thick forests, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees. Après-golf is lively with the locals loving a good party. And not only is it fun, it’s classy: remarkable hotels and villas, casinos, smart shops, pleasure ports and well-preserved fishing villages.

Gastronomy

Gastronomy in the South West is particularly well known for its foie gras, cassoulet, poule au pot and meat confit. Here, get a real taste of the land, its flavours, quality products and authentic age-old recipes.

From the Perigord to the Gers, and the Landes to the Tarn, South Western cuisine is composed of preserves and jarred dishes, stuffed preparations and confits. Cassoulet, for one, simmers for many hours so that the white beans soak in the flavours of the goose confit, Toulouse sausage and pork knuckle. When in Toulouse, you must try cassoulet at the Colombier, near Place du Capitol. In Pau in Béarn, do as native Henri IV would have and feast on a poule au pot, a type of pot-au-feu famous for having been the King’s favourite.

Pan-fried foie gras, duck breast and goose rillettes are sure to be listed on the region’s restaurant menus. Take time also to explore the picturesque foie gras markets, held all winter, where you’ll find chapon (or cockerel), duck, goose, and the famous South Western duck foie gras, a gem of French gastronomy. You could even learn a few tricks by taking a cooking class at the Quai des Saveurs in Bordeaux.

The black truffle reigns from Sarlat in Perigord to Lalbenque in Quercy, so when in the area, why not partake in a truffle hunting adventure with a dog or a pig? Or learn how to prepare the traditional truffle omelette with chef Pierre Corre at Auberge de la Truffe in Sorges. Aquitaine caviar is another exceptional product, bred in reputable sturgeon farms and found on the menus of fine South Western restaurants.

The Bordeaux cannelé is the ineluctable South West dessert, flavoured with aged rum and Bourbon vanilla, and baked in the grooved copper moulds from which it gets its name. As for local fruit, try the sweet Agen prune, the dried fruit from the ancient Ente plum tree.

Climate

The average annual temperatures are: from December-February: 5°C-12°C, from March-April: 6°C-17°C, from May-September: 13°C – 28°C, from October-November: 8°C-19°C.

For beginners and experts alike, South France Golf welcomes you on one of its twelve golf courses and offers you a panorama of some of France’s most beautiful landscapes. Between golf courses situated close to the coast, those in Lozère or in the heights of the Pyrenees, 20 golfs courses of Eastern Occitania allow you to find the stay that best corresponds to your golfing aspirations.

Between two golf courses, discover all the richness of Occitanie. The medieval city of Carcassonne, The Fortresses of Cathar and its castles, The Pont du Gard, Millau’s viaduct, The Gorges du Tarn, The Canal du Midi, Camargue, The Mediterranean Sea, The Pyrenees and the cities with their warm atmospheres, for some, are places of interest to visit.

Of the courses we offer, six are of the highest order. Designers like Seve Ballesteros, Gary Player, Pete Dye and Ronald Fream have created gems which will delight.

Riviera

French Riviera golf, known as the Côte d’Azur, does fashionable indulgence like nowhere else. The writer Somerset Maugham referred to the Cote d’Azur as a ‘sunny place for shady people’ adding to the region’s mystic. Despite Maugham, you don’t have to indulge in decadence to enjoy the south of France. It’s perhaps one of the most beautiful places on earth framed by the stunning blue Mediterranean and the foothills of the Alps. Artist like Matisse, Seurat and Signac came here to paint nature’s harmonious balance inspired by the region’s remarkable quality of light. For day trips we recommend Nice for its old town and port area, glitzy Monaco, medieval Saint-Paul de Vence, Cannes famous for its film festival, and there’s always Saint-Tropez.

Hugging the Mediterranean coast in the southeast corner of France, the Rivera is 90 minutes by air from Paris. It includes the sovereign state of Monaco and extends from the Italian border east to Saint Tropez. The French Riviera gathers an impressive number of remarkable golf courses such as Royal Mougins, located 20 minutes from Cannes; Cannes Mougins, Four Seasons Provence with 2 new great golf courses, and Gary Player’s Chateau de Taulane.

Climate

In all areas the average annual temperature are: from November-March: 6°C-16°C, from April-May: 10°C-20°C, from June-October: 14°C-27°C.

French Alps

If you think the Alps is for skiing – think again. From the sensational resort of Evian to the wonderful treasures around the lakes, there’s stunning golf and breathtaking scenery to enjoy.

One of the most spectacular regions in Europe, the Rhone-Alps is framed by mountains, the Rhone and Saone Rivers, lakes and vast valleys of farmland, lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards. It’s heaven on earth!

Famed for skiing and the best food in the world, the Rhone-Alps also has a hidden attraction…wonderful golf courses! Courses designed by the likes of Pete Dye and Trent Jones, courses which host the world’s richest tournament for ladies and courses that are amazingly picturesque. Most of them are in the warm valleys and are open all year-round…After all, the warmth of the South of France is just down the road.

You can get to the Rhone-Alps by plane, train or automobile. There are regular flights to the three airports, a motorway all the way from Calais and we can also organise travel by high-speed train with a hire car or private transfer waiting for you.

Climate

The average annual temperature are: from November-March: 2°C-10°C, from May-June: 14°C-17°C, from July-September: 17°C-20°C, October: 12°C

Golf courses

Le Golf National - Albatross

L'Albatros is Le Golf National's centerpiece, and is the annual host to the French Open. Ranked 4th in France and 9th in continental Europe, L'Albatros was designed by Hubert Chesneau, and has hints of Florida, a splash of Ireland and a lot of France. The stadium course has been built in accordance with the most modern construction principles and joined the list of courses to have staged a Ryder Cup in 2018. This is the toughest golf course around Paris, where the enormous, undulating putting surfaces are sculpted around great swathes of water and sand. The distinctly rugged feel of L'Albatros reminds you that this is a proper golf course, not a walk-in-the-park resort track, and is there to test even the best. L'Albatros Course at Le Golf National is ranked as one of the best courses in France

  • 18 holes Championship golf course, Par 72
  • Clubhouse
  • Pro-Shop
  • Restaurant-Bar
  • Driving range, putting greens

Le Golf National - L'Aigle

The resort's second course is L'Aigle, which is certainly a more forgiving proposition than the neighbouring French Open venue. L'Aigle is shorter, at 6,489 yards, and is more sympathetically set up to welcome the average player. In the same manner as L'Albatros, the course is rough around the edges, and has a degree of links in its make up, but does not have the demanding hazards that make Le Golf National's main attraction so challenging.
